With the explosion of rustic, DIY and boho wedding decor in recent years, barns have taken centre stage as one of the most popular options for wedding venues. Laid-back, relaxed, and usually pretty roomy, the barn is perfectly suited to the current generation of low-maintenance brides looking to throw a simple yet trendy celebration for their guests. Not only do barns fit with most wedding themes from shabby-chic to elegant, but they can also serve as a more affordable option than your average hotel wedding.

The best part is that stunning and spacious barn wedding venues are a dime a dozen in Canada, so strap on your cowboy boots and check out eight of our faves from British Columbia to the Maritimes.
